Malivoire ‘Che Bello’ Sparkling Wine Non-Vintage
VQA Ontario $17.95 (16858) 11.5% alcohol
Leesy and citrus aromas herald a pleasant mouthful of palate-pleasing flavours with lemon curd and grapefruit tang interwoven with wisps of ripe white peach, pear and yellow plum carried along on a crest of fine-bead bubbles. It’s a perfect aperitif or dinner wine. It’s a keeper at this price and deserves a multiple purchase as the price-quality ratio skews in your favour. (Vic Harradine)
